I asked this a couple of years back and maybe it got lost in the backlog. However, in the Writing section, with Document folders. There is no way to delete a folder, nor is there a way to move a document from one folder to another. This is super basic functionality. I see all kinds of talk on AI features, visual features but it would be crucial if I could just manage my document organization intuitively.
Hey there, sorry about the confusing UI on this. I admit it's pretty clunky and it's something I'm hoping to tackle in a larger update that addresses a lot of front-end design decisions around the site, but here's how to move documents from one folder to another, delete folders, and rename folders/subfolders:
Moving documents from one folder to another
To edit a document's folder, you can click on the document in your documents list to bring up its info box. For example, clicking this row:
That brings up the info box for updating document metadata. From this box, you'll see the folder it's currently in – and be able to select any other folder from the dropdown to move it to.
Renaming/deleting folders
Folders have a similar metadata box, but are accessed slightly differently: to rename a folder (or delete it), you'll just open the folder and click the large icon in the top-left.
From here, you can rename your folder (type a new name and click Update this folder), delete your folder (click the red Delete this folder link), or move your folder (or subfolder) into other folders the same way you would move a document between folders.
Again, sorry about the confusing UI on this. The design is on the to-do list to improve, but maybe there are some smaller tweaks I can make to make things a bit clearer in the meantime before making larger changes. I believe the functionality you're looking for should be there and is ready for you to use! If there's any other functionality you'd like from documents/folders, I'd love to hear more feedback and get it added in an update, also! :)
